| Any Reason to buy a pre-owned Auralic Vega 1 or Wait for the Revised Vega ? The Vega G2 is twice the price of the Vega 1 new, but friends who have heard the G2 at a recent audio show said the G2 was phenomenal. | |
| Tube Troubleshooting Abucktwoeighty: fascinating. I've enjoyed the Sophias, but now I might start looking for an alternative.Mcintech: awesome - thank you! As the son of a former Machinest Mate, I am grateful for both your service and your passing along that handy skill! | |
| Tube Troubleshooting Thanks, guys.The tubes in question are Sophia Electric 6SN7s. I bought them new about three years ago. They've sat unused in their box for the last 14 months, though. A couple more data points: the rushing air was two to three times louder through... | |
| Are Klipsch or Usher and Upgrade for Me? Hmm. Thanks, guys. That's food for thought. One of the reasons I'm looking to upgrade is I need speakers that sound good in a variety of rooms because I move every couple years. For some reason I assumed the horn would have superior horizontal dis... | |

| Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications One respected opinion in the community: http://www.lampizator.eu/lampizator/REFERENCES/Buffalo%20DAC/BuffaloDAC.htmlI have the 95; it's a steal at full asking price. Would upgrade to the 105 in a heartbeat if I hadn't just bought the 95. | |
| Stealth Dream V10 Power Cords Thanks for your thoughts, guys. If/when V10 models show up used for an acceptable price I'll give them a spin. It seems like with each passing day, though, more companies are building exceptional cables at lower prices, so while I don't want to ge... | |
| Stealth Dream V10 Power Cords Rsf, I apologize for not fully answering your question. Over the last 20 years I've had more cables than I can remember. Going back as far as ten years I can remember using Gregg Straley's Reality Cables, which I highly recommend in the budget cat... | |

| Stabilizers and footers Elizabeth,Long time, no see!Does your gear sound the same regardless of which of the items you listed you're using? I've been looking for a comparison of the effects of various footers on the market but have yet to find one.Thanks!Howard | |
| DAC Accustics Art - Ayon CD5S - AMR DAP 777 Audiofun, I'm eager to try the Dynex/parts express cable duo. There are multiple models of Dynex four-port USB hub, though. If you'd pass on the model number I'd appreciate it!Best,Howard | |
| Audiophile Truth 26 Oh man, if that were true I'd have a lot less money poured in this hobby! :-) | |
| Super High Material Bump...I just heard of these and am interested in hearing others' thoughts before I start plunking down Greater-than-Mofi money for these. | |
| Help Me Choose A Rack Craig, There should be several competent plastic surgeons in your area who can assist.Sorry, I couldn't resist. :-) | |
| is ayre qb-9 dac better than cx7e mp? Karma,Your question is even more difficult than you may think. Unfortunately the axiom "Everything matters" is as true with computer-based playback as it is from more "conventional" sources. With a standard Mac using USB with a spinning hard disk,... |
